Trailblazers challenge
What’s the problem?
Did you know that most iNaturalist observations made by hikers are most often taken in close proximity to the trailhead? Having a more even spread in observations over the complete length of popular trails will provide researchers with a more representative view of the biodiversity that Canadians have access to.
Where should you go?
For this challenge we encourage you to go stretch your legs in the most popular parks throughout Canada. Which species you observe is not important: the more the merrier. The only requirement is that you are located at least 1 km away from a trailhead or road.
For hiking inspiration, take a look at the trail maps on the website for the park you choose!
